Application Notes

4. Using Autohotkey

AutoHotkey has a brief tutorial and overview [http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm], which explains the

basics of using the program.

When using AutoHotkey with these command-line utilities there are a couple of issues to look out for:

• The command-line utility will not run while the product software is connected to the USB device (e.g.

usccmd cannot run while the Maestro Control Center is connected to a servo controller).

• Only one instance of the command-line utility can be running at a time. If you try to run two commands

in a row without using AutoHotkey’s RunWait, the command-line utility will not work.

• Commas(,) in command-line utility commands need to be escaped with backtics (`).
